I had one of the local school teachers over a few weeks ago. He sat down at the wife's computer and without a thought started going where he needed to go. I asked him how he liked Ubuntu Linux and he was taken aback. He said it never dawned on him that it was not a windows machine.

I wished it was that easy. He has a weird configuration. He does a lot of asian inputs/outputs, Office, uses Palm (with asian datas too), etc. Oh well.
